This is your chance to channel the nostalgia of old-fashioned holiday cheer, where nothing was too sparkly, too glittery, or too over-the-top!

Join artist Katheryn Hande and create TWO of your own miniature winter wonderlands, filled with whimsical Santa scenes, cozy cottages, and dazzling Christmas trees—all inside a charming ornament that’s ready to hang on your tree. You’ll have a large assortment of retro- inspired materials to create your own piece that looks like it was plucked straight from your grandparents' attic. Tiny cars, trees, presents, deer, ornaments, candy, beads, ribbons, glitter, fake snow, snow flakes, Santas, baubles, tinsel... you name it!

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or new to DIY, this class is designed to spark your creativity and take you on a nostalgic journey to a time when Christmas was bigger, bolder, and brighter!

Let’s make this Christmas a little more magical, a lot more sparkly, and full of vintage charm.
